किरातेन कृतं तत्र यथापूर्वमविस्खलम् । तां पूजां प्रपदाहत्य बिल्वपत्रं समर्पयत्
kirātena kṛtaṃ tatra yathāpūrvamaviskhalam | tāṃ pūjāṃ prapadāhatya bilvapatraṃ samarpayat
وہاں کیرات (شکاری) نے جو کچھ کیا تھا وہ پہلے ہی کی طرح بےخلل تھا۔ وہ اس پوجا کے پاس جا پہنچا اور بیل کے پتے نذر کیے۔

Tirtha: Kedāra (Kedāranātha)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Naimiṣāraṇya sages (frame implied)
Scene: A hunter (kirāta) calmly continues the established worship without faltering, stepping forward to place a bilva leaf upon the Śiva-liṅga, while others watch in astonishment.
Simple, sincere offerings—like a bilva leaf—carry great devotional power when worship is steady and undisturbed.
The Kedāra Śivālaya context, highlighting the sanctity of offerings made at Śiva’s shrine.
Bilvapatra-samarpana—offering bilva leaves to Śiva—as part of proper temple worship.
